And, of course, the thing still works very nicely in my computer. I just miss my mobile tweets when they shut down each week, and for me the mobile functionality is by far the most compelling part of the Twitter value proposition. And if they had a business plan, there would be a way for me to address this - or not - myself instead of just being disappointed.
